Seven Days Out From My First Contest Of 2013
Why Do I Compete? I Talk About It In This YouTube Video
Swat Fuel 9mm and 9mm+P Fat Burners Are The Best
If you are looking for a revolutionary fat burner which provides sustained energy for an entire day and which also works as a potent pre-workout booster, you need to check out 9mm and 9mm+P from Swat Fuel. I am not joking – prepare to be amazed.
I am not easily impressed by sports supplements because there are so many products out there that over-promise and under-deliver. However, I can honestly say that Swat Fuel 9mm and 9mm+P are unique and superior to any other thermogenic fat burners on the market. These products were originally formulated for law enforcement individuals and military personnel to specifically provide sustained stamina and energy which lasts the entire day and does not produce jitters. These products optimize fat metabolism and are excellent for use as pre-workout boosters to maximize your energy and stamina during your lift. Even if you don’t work out, you can count on these powerful formulations to increase energy levels without the usual jitters or crash that many thermogenics cause.
9mm is a powerful thermogenic and pre-workout formula, but if you are trying to lose weight or you want to become ripped, opt for 9mm+P which also contains a natural appetite suppressant.
Prepare to SWEAT LIKE A PIG during your workouts when you take these supplements! Also make sure to hydrate very well when taking either product. Even from the first time I took 9mm, my reaction was one of total surprise. As the sweat poured off me and I noticed that I had laser focus with my lift, I just kept saying, WOW. I was truly blown away, and I continue to be impressed by the fact that this product delivers true to its description.
Every time I take this stuff, I am drenched in sweat about five minutes into my lift. No other thermogenic has ever had this effect on me. What amazes me is that my heart does not race, I do not get the jitters, and my workouts are much more powerful than on the days when I don’t take it.

Why Liquid Sun Rayz is the BEST Competition Color Around
After competing in the NPC for a number of years I have tried ALL the major brands of competition spray tanning products and have certainly formulated opinions regarding each brand. I remember the first time I had Liquid Sun Rayz (LSR) applied and was mesmerized by the deep mahogany tone of the product. It was more believable than other brands and looked incredible onstage. Yet I found myself in geographic regions which featured other products, so I was often forced to use other products with results that never impressed me in the same way that LSR did. Whenever a competitor asks me what color I recommend, I always say LSR because I know it will always look outstanding onstage. The formula works well on pale skin tones and looks beautiful on the darker skin tones as well. You will NEVER look orange, yellow or green onstage with LSR. The formula also adheres beautifully to the skin and the DHA imparts a very deep color after several hours.
Another very important reason why I love LSR so much is that Marilyn Spatola has established a tremendous business which truly celebrates the athlete. The LSR team is very organized and adheres well to their spray schedule. I have heard horror stories about competitors choosing other spraying services and waiting for hours past their appointment times or not getting sprayed at all. Marilyn and her spray team are respectful, professional, caring and efficient. I never worry about whether my tan will look good for a contest because I know that LSR will make sure that my color (and everyone else’s) looks perfect.
I am so very excited to be one of the LSR Sponsored Athletes and look forward to LSR’s continued successes!

Getting Your Ducks in a Row: How To Plan For a Contest
The number of individuals who express interest in competing has risen dramatically in recent years with the addition of newer divisions such as Bikini, Men’s Physique and Women’s Physique. This has also resulted in a considerable increase in the competitor pool at the local/regional level, the national level and in the pro ranks. Sadly, many new competitors have no idea how to prepare themselves for a competition. I am not talking about the contest prep which a coach would develop for a client, but rather, the financial investment and time management which must be planned out in advance in order to ensure that a competitor will remain on track for the chosen contest date and that there will be no loose ends.
A detailed timeline is especially important for people with hectic schedules. It certainly helps if you are a good planner and actually augments the focus that is critical to pursuing your goal of being contest ready. I lead a very busy lifestyle which has me switching roles from physician to model to writer to contest prep coach to trainer. I also train intensely and regularly five to seven days a week and drag my food everywhere with me. If I did not have a checklist for each contest I would forget some very essential elements which would only make me anxious as a contest date approached.
Here is what I put on my checklist for a competition:
1. Detailed Budget for the contest which includes a breakdown of the following:
- Show entry fees
- Spray tan
- Flight
- Hotel
- Rental Car or Cab fare
- Bag fees
- Gym fees
- Incidentals
2. To-Do List for each item on my budget so I am sure to stay on track with when show registration is due, deposits are due, and when flight reservations should be made.
3. Contacts List for spray tan vendors, hotel address, venue address, etc.
4. Appointment Sheet so I have all appointment dates and times handy.
5. Official Show Schedule
Make sure to refer to your list often so that everything is in place before your contest date. Best of luck!
So Very Proud Of My Client Alli Salibian – This Is After 8 Weeks Of Prep With Me
My client Alli began training with me on December 17th, 2012 for an NPC contest which will be held on April 13th, 2013. These images show her one week before she began contest prep and how she looked on February 18th after 8 weeks of dedicated training and prep. She will compete in both Open and Masters Figure. This woman is tremendous and I am so very proud of her! She has stuck with her meal plan and training despite having two small children and a very full life. Talk about inspiring!
